How a reception joinery project runs

The same four step process as other commercial work, focused on front of house requirements.

Consult and scope

We review drawings, finishes schedules and joinery scope.
Scope, budget and program expectations are confirmed with the builder or client.

Design and detailing

We prepare shop drawings that resolve heights, access, clearances and interfaces with services and signage.
Drawings are issued for review and approval before manufacture.

Manufacture

Desks and feature elements are manufactured and pre assembled in our Sydney workshop where required.
Staging and deliveries are planned around site access and program.

Installation

Our installers coordinate with the site team, services trades and signage contractors.
Site rules and safety requirements are followed and final adjustments and defects are completed.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

Technical and accessibility detail

Reception joinery often needs to align with accessibility and safety requirements set by others.
We work from project documentation to set bench heights, overhangs and clearances.
Interfaces with floors, glazing, handrails and security equipment are resolved during detailing.

Materials we commonly use

  • Finishes that match the broader interior scheme, including laminates, veneers, solid surfaces and feature materials as specified.
  • Durable edges and protection to handle suitcases, trolleys and daily wear.
  • Hardware and fittings selected for frequent use and easy maintenance.
